Update // I’m back!

Hey guys! It’s been a good few weeks of not posting or being active in general-oops. I’ve been SO busy recently and today’s post is gonna be all about what I’ve been doing the past few weeks mixed in with some photos.

Skiing in Bankso, Bulgaria

About three weeks ago I went on my first ski trip with my friend and her fam and it was amazing! Of course being a beginner amongst a group of pros was really difficult but I had three private lessons and after that I was able to parallel ski down the very top of the mountain with my friend and honestly, I was so proud of myself 😂. Looking back at it now I just wanna go back! We also went to some really cool hot natural hot pools which were so fun too.

Spending time with my cousins

This doesn’t sound all that exciting but my Aunt recently had another bub and I just love to hang out with them and have cuddles! They came down from London to Devon when I got home from skiing so I spent a few sunny days with them, walking on the beach, having lunch out and buying the CUTEST, pinkest clothes in a baby shop. Lol.

Revising for My Mock Exams

Ugh.Ugh. I’ve had such a stressful two weeks full of revision and looking forward to another. It is really good prep for my real GCSEs but it’s really time consuming and boring😂. I’ve had three exams now and have five more so as you can tell I’m just buzzing! I’ve basically been studying everyday after school and at the not-so-fun-anymore weekends, hoping for some good grades to come out of it😁

Writing my draft for the junior Orwell Prize

So there’s a writing competition that our school really gets into, a poet even came for a day to prepare and talk about the competition with us and so for the past couple of weeks I’ve been putting together my piece based on the theme of truth and lies. I finally finished it last night- yay another thing off my list- I’m not sure it’s the best thing I’ve ever done but as a draft it will do! The competition also leads on to a possibility of a trip to Oxford University so I, really hoping I get to go:)

Ten Tors Training & Silver Duke Of Edinburgh

So if you don’t know, Ten Tors is a really intense walking competition that happens in Devon every year. You have to walk for two days, tackling 10 MASSIVE hills- I can’t wait😶. The training has been quite good though and the walks can be surprisingly fun, they’re every Saturday and beat allll the energy out of me (walking for 7 hours straight would do I suppose!) I’m also working on my Silver DOFE, I began my physical side of it but I’m really stuck on what to do for my volunteering work ugh- if you have any ideas let me know:)

Writing my prefect application for head of house

In our school, year 10s have the opportunity to take up a prefect position and I’m going for the head of my house which is probably one of the biggest ones apart from head girl so no sweat😅. Obviously I want the role but the one thing about it that scares me is reading the daily bulletin of our school in front of like 200 people in assembly ahhhh. Oh well I’ll get over it. Hopefully.

Reading the hell out of the millennium series-“Girl with the dragon tattoo”

OMG. I HAVE FOUND MY LOVE. I absolutely love this book series, I’ve read the first two books and now onto my second and have fallen in love with the character of Lisbeth Salander- she is the most interesting, intelligent, amazing character everrrrr. If you’ve read nay of the books, let me know!!!

So yeah my weeks have been quite busy, which I do love! I’m not sure how much blogging I’m going to be doing in the next couple of weeks but of course I will try my best, I hope you’re all doing well and being productive, if you’ve even got to the end let me know what you’ve been busy with recently!

Thanks for reading,

Tamsin xx
